48th Ward Public Safety Trends - February 2025

Violent crime in the 48th Ward is down 25.5% compared to the same period last year. The chart below compares January 1 - February 20, 2024 with 2025 using data CPD. Notably, robbery victimizations in the 48th ward are down 60% with 20 reported during this period in 2024 compared to 8 in 2025. Battery Victimizations are up 14%; however CPD tells us that this increase is likely due to targeted and strategic efforts to encourage gender-based violence survivors to call police and file reports.
